This camera can record to full 1080 HD videos as well as staying budget friendly. The camera requires a bit of arm as it weighs 729g including battery that is. It is filled with auto shooting mode with creative functions like Panorama, Macro, The file stimulation mode, high speed continuous shooting etc. There are readily available direct options for many features like movie recording, AF button etc. The camera contains a beautiful 3 inch LCD screen to preview and review of your photos. This and all the brilliant technology incorporated in the camera gives you what is a brilliant Digital Camera for long keepsake.

The camera is a good looking handy camera with dimensions 12.95 x 9.14 x 12.70 cm, featuring a sure grip rubber coating, making it an easy to carry this SLR. The buttons are placed for quick reach with the Movie recording button on an immediate reach to switch on / off the full HD movie making.

And best of all you can search for all photos containing the registered name to quick search the people. In face detection function the shutter is automatically released and lastly, the pet lovers can find this feature lovable since this camera caters Dog/Cat detection.

Lens and Image Stabilization

There lies the high quality 30X zoom Fujinon lens in this camera with a Super Electron Beam Coating which reduces flaring, ghosting and purple fringe. The 3 aspherical lenses, ED lens and Super EBC are the result of these sharp images, accurate and clear images. The lens does give out brilliant resolution picture with much clarity and proper exposure. Furthermore, the camera is instilled with Image stabilization operation, with the highly effective CMOS- shift and high ISO image stabilization conjures crisp, clear and blur less photos even on long telephoto shots that are most likely to suffer from camera shakes and subject movement even at the full 30x zoom. Lastly, in the Advanced Anti Blur i.e. EXR AUTO mode the camera uses Multi Frame technology that layers four consecutive high speed shots and collects them into a single and sharp image with low noise. This technology uses the BSI EXR CMOS sensor’s sensitivity and responsiveness to achieve the end result even at zoom settings.

Screen and Menus

Things are made easy with the 3 inch 460,000 dot LCD high contract ‘tilting’ monitor. The screen is flexible for both high (45° downward angle) and low (90° upward) positions. The screen is viewable at up to 160 degree in both vertical and horizontal directions, as for the high contrast LCD sunlight mode the screen gives you clear viewing even in bright outside environment. Presented is an updated Vector Graphics, GUI which adds in the camera the intuitive and amusing dimension for searching and display of photos and engaging with the features. For pros alike, they will fancy the histogram display that is also a given with the camera. Overall the display is pleasing to the eye and easy to use.

Battery

The camera is worded to shot up to 350 frames in one charge, where it uses the readily available power source of AA batteries.

Video Mode

Fujifilm FinePix HS25 EXR comes with the power of shooting full HD videos 1920 x 1080 p at 30fps, the end result of which is stunning videos majorly due to its high sensitivity sensor. It is included with a great stereo sound, with an improved continuous auto focus by the help of enhanced face recognition. This of course keeps track of your subjects and proper exposure. Addition advantage comes from the Movie scene recognition which optimizes settings according to your required environment and need, eliminating guess work to a greater extends. The H.264 (MOV) files format collaborate high quality movies with small file size and thus editing is made easy on PC. Full zoom option is available during the video shoot and the perky feature of Film Simulation adds effect to your movie such as B/W and sepia. An HDMI port is given to share your videos/photos on TV.

Sensors

Enabled with an 1/2“16Mp (Back side illuminated) EXR CMOS sensor, this sensor tops in two sector: one being breathtaking image taking in low light and secondly, lightning fast auto focusing. Fuji film’s proprietary pixel and color filtration array augments both vertical and horizontal resolution, which ensures best image quality for every scene. It has also a 1600 % expanded dynamic range making the camera available to new levels of imaging performance. As for the BSI, this lifts up the camera’s sensitivity with the available ISO settings to the highest 128000. The CMOS format achieves faster image processing hence providing you 8fps high speed continuous shooting at full 16MP resolution. High resolution, wide dynamic range, high sensitivity and low noise make the camera a brilliant ally.

Pros

The camera has a bright screen, an excellent picture quality especially in the low light surroundings and a good manual zoom. Also, the focus is fast and edgy.

Cons

Sometimes the optical viewfinder’s a bid dark and manual focuses are hard to use. Other than that there is not much bad with the camera.

hi , i bought this camera last week , i am very happy from its performance . superb image quality , pictures are very sharp , colors of snaps are natural . the most thing which attracts me its manual zoom . it give experience of dslr camera . it is a great bridge camera . i like aa batteries in instead of lithium ion batteries . lithium ion batteries are expensive and not available easily at eery place . so its a great camera you can buy it .

DOF

by Azaz Ahmed on 2012-11-27

Adarsh Kashyap, if you wanna throw the background out of focus, then google for shallow Depth of focus. Mind it, for these blurring effects to work, the distance of the object from the background should be more than twice the distance between the lens and the object. The greater the distance of the background, the better is the bokeh effect.

Definately worth every penny

by Rajarshi Samanta on 2013-09-26

just got the camera from flipkart. As usual good service.
First thing that striked me about the camera is the good finish, the amazing manual zoom and the sheer DSLR like size. the camera is definately on the bigger side of bridge cameras. it definately felt like a DSLR in my hand. but the weight is not that much.
initial pics specially in low light were more than satisfactory. i havent yet explored the complete photographic capabilities of the camera. i will update about the same later.
the unboxing of the camera was pretty average. nothing special in packaging or the contents. but the battery charger provided is good. but the 4 GB SD card provided is of class 4. i normally prefer a Class 10 card.
EXR mode looked good, burst mode with 8 FPS felt good. the lcd display is crisp but can be tilted only along one axis.
Looking at the dial and controls and the software this camera definately has a longer learning curve than any sony or my previous Lumix FZ45. but the controls are logical.
the manual control gives this camera such a pro feel. I enjoyed the manual zoom and think it really differentiates the camera.

However, there is a dark side also which I experienced is my camera's ON/OFF switch stopped functioning after some 2 months, for which, i tried to approach FUJIFILM via emails for conveying my concern, but so far nobody reverted, flipkart people responded with service centre address etc which is in AHMEDABAD. Now, I have to take the product to A'bad for repairs and for that, i dont find time.. However, rest all the functionalities of the camera are working nicely... for switching off, i am managing with Auto Power Off feature.

Therefore, for product review.. I'll give 5 STARS for its features but 2 STARS for the after sales support... as nobody is bothered...

Awesome Fujiflim Hs25 .. Great..

by Arnab Dutta on 2013-07-16

Thumbs Up for this great product..!!! This gives me a feel of DSLR when I hold it with my two hands. Great Grip and very stable during shooting because of its comparative heavy weight.
Pros:
1. Great Zoom
2. Full Manual Control. U can get a clear and perfect shot if you know the correct setting and if you have patience for photography.
3. Lots of advanced options..
4. Real low price
5. Best for serious photography...

I captured many pics even at 30X zoom without tripod, very clear picture can be taken if your hands are steady.

This is one great camera and the main attraction is its zoom power it's tremendous. I recommend this camera to all the photo lovers.

Near DSLR Experience.!!

by Vibhuti Shukla on 2013-05-31

I am amazed by the capabilities of my recently purchased HS25EXR. In my opinion this is the best choice if you want near DSLR experience for about half the price in case you don't care about shooting RAW.

Apart from its brother, the HS30EXR which costs around 2.5k more and can shoot RAW, this camera has more potential than considerably costlier cameras. I was in a fix whether buy this or the Nikon P510 but the latter lacks manual zoom which I'm happy the HS25 has.

The Cons:
The camera has a few cons like its sheer bulk (730g with batteries and card). However, it is convenient to operate with a decent grip and a flip-out LCD. Not much of a problem for young guys. Another problem is that it produces slightly grainy images at higher ISO's which can be negated by setting ISO below 800 and maxing the HDR at 8 Megapixel resolution or below. Manual mode is a bit tricky for beginners but eventually you'll catch up.

The Pros:
Now lets talk about the pros and there are many...
It takes crisp telephoto images along with great macros. The 24-720 mm range is more than adequate for a normal photographer. It is very versatile with its vast range of shutter speeds and photographic options. It looks like a DSLR, and with Manual Zoom and Manual Focus it feels like a DSLR too. Combination of Digital Viewfinder and Flip-out screen is very convenient as you can take pictures in a variety of positions with ease. With 11FPS 'blitzkrieg' mode for photos you can rarely miss an opportunity to take good in-motion captures.

Overall this is a wonderful versatile companion that would rarely let you down. Even if you get flummoxed while capturing any scene, the EXR auto mode always comes to the rescue. This camera is best suited for beginners who want to venture deep into photography without emptying their pockets considerably.

Two Thumbs Up..!!

Best Camera in this Price Range

by Jayachandra N on 2013-04-25

If you want to have a camera with all features of DSLR, but in less price, this proves to be one. Honestly, I have tried many cameras at 20K price tag. Could not find one with DSLR feel in hand and deliver outstanding pics. Nikon is good at producing cameras above 30K, so is the case with Canon. All cameras of Nikon and Canon below 20K does not produce good quality pictures or lack features. Many of us in India think Fuji to be a cheap brand, but forget the fact that they were the leading photographic company for many years and have produced many good products and still are the professional partners for many image processing industries. Fujinon lens you can find in many Movie making cameras. This camera is awesome one with many features. What I like is the manual zoom adjustment, which is more convenient than a motorized zoom. No worries even if you run out of batters, AA size batteries are abundant any where you go. Over all great camera for amateurs for sure.

Satisfied....Chalega

by Adarsh Kashyap on 2012-11-14

I bought this cam a few days back, and I've been waiting to write this review. I bought it from a store and at a very less price than flipkart.

To begin with, honestly I'm an amateur photographer, still on the way of learning a lot of things.
I love these background blurring effects and I primarily wanted a camera, which can perform such tasks.

In this case, the HS25 has disappointed me a little, I wanted original background defocusing(through lens). Although its Pro-focus mode(digitally altered)(Adv mode) is awesome, but I still wanted more softer backgrounds.
Now I dont know whether the fault is in cam's capability or mine. I tried my best aperture, macro, zoom etc combination.

Pros -
1. The camera performs very well(more than I expected, still this experience is relative) in low light. Its Pro-light mode(Adv) is quite intelligent if you dont know much about exposure or you dont have a tripod.

2. The Zoom is fantastic, and even at 30x in broad-daylight, noise level was quite unnoticeable, even without tripod.

3. Many people complain about the build quality. I personally dont have any such complaints. And I even found the grip quite comfortable. Althought its lil heavy (637gms).
Some people complain about the battery compartment cover, that it moves a little.
Yes it does, when empty, but that is almost inconsiderable.
When loaded, its totally fine.

4. The controls are very comfortable and the barrel zoom is fantastic.

5. FUJI'S own EXR mode is fantastic, when you are totally boggled in twisted situations, EXR is the way to go.

CONS-

1. Quite heavy - not very handy
2. Auto focus is really not satisfactory(as complained on many other sites)
3. Clarity is little comprising(still unnoticeable)

I toyed with my choices for about a month. I had two - Nikon P510 and Fuji HS25. The P510 Being little expensive.(around 3500 bucks).
I have used both and Nikon clearly proved its superiority when I experimented with its autofocus. Nikon's clarity was almost equal(few notches higher).
Still, I went for HS25 coz of its fast shutter speed and wide angle lens and its barrel zoom, and ofcourse its cheaper.

Still I would recommend Nikon p510 to anyone willing to pay a few thousand more.

In the end, m satisfied.
Worth the money.

Nice Camera.. Good before entering DSLR!

by Solomon Paulraj on 2014-03-26

The camera is very good with manual zoom and easily reachable controls. Effects are also very good and the provision for fitting additional filters is very good. Buy it before you invest in a DSLR camera.
More about the picture quality and camera experience little later after using it.... so keep watching this review.

average camera

by Akshay Atmaram Tarfe on 2014-02-21

its damn good for beginner photographer who dont want to jump to dslr but want start improving skills. zoom function hats off (only in exr,auto mode) once you switch to manual focus(background blur experiments) camera starts sucking. highly instable in focusing moving objects . everything is good . manual focus not great, but it will work good with very stable hand or basic tripod . good for casual photographs and nature photography due to amazing zoom
